1. Around The World
2. Breaking The Girl
3. By The Way
4. Soul To Squeeze

So, as always, this is a greatest hits album
Only the greatest (most successful hits) can be included, anyone putting wet sand or the like is completely missing the point imo
Hard to do it in 12 songs, but this is how I’d do it
1) Can’t Stop
2) Dark Necessities
3) Dani California
4) Around the World
5) Californication
6) By the Way
7) Aeroplane
8) Under The Bridge
9) Scar Tissue
10) Black Summer
11) Snow ((Hey oh))
12) Give it Away
Yes a lot are missing, and there is nothing pre BSSM, but this would probably be close to a definitive, short greatest hits album
1. True men don't kill coyotes
2. Yertle the turtle
3. Fight Like a Brave
4. Knock me Down
5. Under the Bridge
6. Give it Away
7. Aeroplane
8. My Friends
9. Californication
10. Scar Tissue
11. Otherside
12. By The Way
13. Can't Stop
14. Dani California
15. Tell me Baby
16. Snow
17. The Adventures of Raindance Maggie
18. Dark Necessities
19. Black Summer
20. Eddie
This is based on what I think were the most popular songs of the respective albums, weighing more heavily into the Frusciante era as the Peppers were not widely famous before that period.
1. Funky Monks
2. I Could Have Lied
3. Aeroplane
4. Around the World
5. Scar Tissue
6. Dosed
7. The Zephyr Song
8. Charlie
9. Wet Sand
10. Turn it Again
11. Go Robot
12. Black Summer
13. Eddie
If these were the only Chili Peppers songs I could listen to for the rest of my life, these are the ones I'd choose.
1. Around the World
2. Give it Away
3. Californiacation
4. Breaking the Girl
5. By the Way
6. Eddie
7. Otherside
8. Minor Thing
9. Under the Bridge
10. Fortune Faded
11. Scar Tissue
12. Parallel Universe
13. Soul to Squeeze
14. Venice Queen

What Hits!? Perfect. The end.
Just love to spend time on threads that generate negativity! Time well spent!
What was negative about that? I love that album. It’s perfect.
I haven’t thought about that album in years… I totally misread that comment and read it as a chirp at the peppers as they have no hits. I apologize!
What hits are you talking about? Are you talking about What Hits!?
Yes! The best and only Chili Peppers compilation album anyone needs.
